Incredibly awesome environment design like I've never seen
Incredibly awesome environment design like I've never seen. Fun gunplay. However it is completely unacceptable that there are several main quests that can permanently break with no solution. These were reported numerous times by player reviewers on places like Steam over the past year, and the same bugs remain with no fix in sight. Unacceptable. The developers should drop everything, respond to these critical bug reports and get..these...fixed...immediately. Defective product, sadly. Edit: A DLC was just released with along with a large patch. The same bugs that stopped my progress and perma-bugged the interface of my coop partner still exist. Unacceptable.

Really enjoying this so far
Really enjoying this so far. I keep seeing reviews online describing this as if its "doing what cyberpunk 2077 didn't do" Don't be bullshitted. This isn't some massive in depth RPG and the only comparison to cyberpunk 2077 is a loose similarity in aesthetic and the ability to equip augmentations. What it is though is a standard Third person, Isometric shooter much like the Sony exclusive Dead Nation (Only one that comes to mind right now but there's alot of similar games, the weighty feel of the player character really reminds me of that one). I'm enjoying the world, the small details and - as a fan of isometric shooters - the combat, which again, if you're a fan of iso-shooters you'll feel at home here. You collect new weapons, upgrade em, upgrade your clothes - or don't bother and just pick what looks cool, ♥♥♥♥ it man - and mow down countless enemies to a sweet retro-cyberpunk soundtrack. This game is sick. My only complaint's are that: - The map is ♥♥♥♥♥♥' Garbage, not really sure where I'm going - EVER. There is an option to display a route to your next objective but good luck navigating without the use of that feature, or without a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Nepalese sherpa. Adding a key to the map would be a much appreciated edition to the game. - I wish I could zoom the camera in a lil bit, just makes things easier to describe. Okay so I guess that's actually all I have to complain about, I got this at a hella discount for 15Moneys and I'm sure I'll have more complaints with time but for 15Moneys, this game is pretty epic. Also I'm drunk so ignore me, maybe this game is ♥♥♥♥. 400/40: good game
